1. Tory D.

“I’m selective to say the least when finding care for our fur babies, especially now that our 12-yr old pup has various health issues. Our baby girl requires insulin shots x2/day and needs to relieve herself every couple of hours. Did I mention she’s not a fan of said shots and stubborn to boot? And this is where Tory comes in to ease every worry and the crazy guilt we had about leaving her. She was an utter rockstar; I couldn’t have put together a more perfect dog sitter from scratch. Tory followed their routine to a T, and she provided consistent updates and pics. Her communication and quick responses were superb, bar none. And while 100% not expected at all, she cleaned the bed sheets and towels making our return home even less stressful. I want to keep her on retainer 😂 In all seriousness, she was a blessing and just what the doctor ordered for us to have a relaxing vacation while knowing our girls were well taken care of. We can’t give Tory enough praise ♥️”

“Alexa is great with my fur child. She's always quick to reply and very flexible with my hectic schedule. I know my little one enjoys the time she spends with Alexa while I'm away. Thank you from both Ruby and myself. ”


3. Rayveona H.

“She house sat for us on short notice and did a great job with our pets! We have a large crew of cats and dogs, but Rayveona was able to meet all their needs while we were away. She sent a ton of photo and video updates as well. She even managed to get our dog to take her medication, which is no easy task.”




4. Sirrine P.


“Sirrine watched our five dogs for a week while we were in Colorado. What can I say? We used to go to expensive kennels and board our dogs at high-rated dog "spas." But nothing compares to having Sirrine watch our home and dogs! Dogs have a very chill time with her.”

6. Courtney E.

“Thank you for watching my sweet girl! Your were amazing and a lifesaver being that it was last minute!”


7. Jessica S.

“Jessica did a great job with my kids and making me feel comfortable by providing updates and pictures. She is knowledgeable when it comes to dogs and I could tell my dogs loved her because when I showed up my dog were happy but not over happy to see me. :) We would recommend Jessica and we will be calling her again when our mom has to go out of town.”


8. Kimberly V.

“We could not be more thrilled with Kimberly and we will 100% be calling her again. She is punctual and professional and asked great questions. She sent regular pictures and updates and even left a present for the pets when she left. She left the house spotless. She went above and beyond in every single way. If I could give her more than 5 stars, I would.”

15. Pon K.


“Pon did an excellent job looking after our 4 pets and home. When we returned, the house looked exactly as it did when we left and our pets were well looked after. Will definitely be utilizing his services the next time we are out of town and recommend him to anyone considering a house/pet sitter.”


16. Helenk R.


“Helenk stayed at our house for 5 days and took care of our two dogs, who can be a bit to handle. She sent us updates each day, took great care of our house and our things, and really put our mind at ease about being away. Would highly recommend her!”


17. serenity t.
“Sky is an amazing pet caregiver, very thoughtful and calm. She can handle any kind of job thrown her way, whether it’s something small or something major!! She’s an amazing person, friend, and co-worker!”


18. Lacye N.
“Lacye used to be our front door apartment neighbor and has watched our 5 year old dog Koa on various occasions. Our dog Koa absolutely adores Lacye. She’s always very responsive and sends videos and pictures of her and Koa having a blast together. She treats our fur baby as if he’s her own which I love! I couldn’t think of anyone more reliable than Lacye when it comes to pet sitting!”
